Need for device drivers?

In order for computers to communicate with specific hardware, a software program, known as a device driver, is required to translate the computer's instruction into a hardware-specific instruction. For instance, the instructions required to print output on a line-printer will differ greatly from the instructions required to print the same output on a plotter or a laser printer. However, the driver software for each provides a common interface to the operating system. thus the same instruction is translated differently according to which driver receives the instruction.

What is the difference between driver and application?

In computing, a device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. A driver typically communicates with the device through the computer bus or communications subsystem to which the hardware connects. When a calling program invokes a routine in the driver, the driver issues commands to the device. Once the device sends data back to the driver, the driver may invoke routines in the original calling program. Drivers are hardware-dependent and operating-system-specific. They usually provide the interrupt handling required for any necessary asynchronous time-dependent hardware interface. Application software, also known as an application or an "app", is computer software designed to help the user to perform singular or multiple related specific tasks. It helps to solve problems in the real world. Examples include enterprise software, accounting software, office suites, graphics software and media players. Many application programs deal principally with documents.
